Chapter Ninety-Nine: Dreams and Leaves (Tanabata Special)

Evil is Island, an isolated island that is rumored to be a purgatory for good thoughts, but in fact, it is just a rumor spread to prevent outsiders from stepping into this peach blossom paradise, which is nothing more than a group of good people who have lived for a long, long time and a moody natives who have lived for a long time.

At dusk, the setting sun unleashed its last warmth on the land, as if covered by a crimson blanket of red light.

There is not a trace of clouds in the sky, the sultry weather has finally passed, and the night is about to usher in the blessing of the night, and tonight is a special day, the island will hold a summer festival once a year, and it happens to coincide with the festival of Tanabata today, it is conceivable that the streets at night must be lively and overcrowded.

The huge cherry blossom trees could not hide the embers of the setting sun, and the golden light penetrated in the shadows of the lush trees in the mountains.

A galloping figure was running briskly in the forest, with short black hair reaching ears, dark and deep pupils, and upright facial features, he was a handsome young man, but at this time his face was slightly panicked and eager.

"It's miserable, I made an agreement with Sakura to go to the green sandalwood gate in front of the shrine on the top of the mountain before the sun goes down, and I accidentally took a nap too much!"

Feng thought like this in his heart, and his steps involuntarily accelerated, but the red sun on the horizon was already close to the horizon, and I was afraid that after a while, the sky would be completely dark.

It's great to walk through the forest, across the creek, past the bush and the suspension bridge to the entrance to the Summer Festival Block, and it's too late, as long as there are no surprises......

With the fantasy in his mind that Dongfang Yezakura must be very cute in a yukata, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little happy, and for a while he was a little immersed in his own world and didn't come back to his senses, he tripped over a tree vine under his feet, and fell to the ground flat, his mouth was full of the bitter taste of grass clippings.

"Phew!"

Ye Feng patted the dust and a little dirt on his body, and when he was about to run fast again, he suddenly found that near the bushes in the surrounding forests, some stars with a light green shimmer were floating up and down, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Haha, fireflies! Great, catching it back and giving it to Sakura will definitely make her happy! ”

Fireflies always appear on this mountain at the turn of day and night, and in order to make the Oriental Night Cherry Blossoms happy, Ye Feng caught them a little forgetfully.

"Ha, there's hydrangeas over there! Let's take it back and give it to Sakura! ”

In order to catch insects and pick flowers, he had completely deviated from the original route, and Ye Feng, who was excited, was still unaware, and along the route of the hydrangea was to the river that led to the depths, until the sound of the stream flowing in his ears came back to his senses, but behind the bushes was a suspended road, and there was a somewhat turbulent river below.

"Ahhhh

didn't stop the car, stumbled under his feet, and fell directly into the water, the cold river water wrapped his whole body, although it was comfortable, it gradually submerged Ye Feng's consciousness.

"Gollum!"

Gradually, Ye Feng felt that the connection between his brain and body was gradually being stripped away, and his consciousness was gradually disappearing, and he barely struggled in the water, but his body was still sinking.

I...... Are you going to die?

Suddenly, before the idea in my mind could be confirmed, a soft and warm thing was attached to my mouth, and thanks to it, the submerged thoughts were gradually pulled back to reality.

"What a cute boy......"

A little reluctantly opened his eyes, and a petite and cute girl appeared in front of Ye Feng's eyes, staring at him curiously, and while his eyes were met, Ye Feng's pupils gradually dilated.

This girl has a face that is not inferior to the night cherry blossoms in the East, and she has been looking at each other for a long time and is not willing to leave her sight. Because this girl's beautiful eyes are like a pool of crystal blue springs, clear and transparent, and beautiful. The pretty face has soft lines, with bright red and soft cherry red lips, it looks gentle and moving, although she is young, but she has a face that is enough to captivate the country and the city, every inch of her exposed skin is crystal clear, pink and jade, no matter who sees her, she will suspect that she has seen a beautiful elf who is shy and closes the moon and sinks the fish and geese, and accidentally falls into the world, without a trace of mortal dust.

The most eye-catching thing is that she actually has a pair of blonde hair, fluttering in the wind, beautiful.

"You...... You okay? The girl's voice was as ethereal and gentle as the wind.

Realizing that it was she who saved her, Ye Feng hurriedly thanked her, but accidentally found that the sun had gone down, so she didn't say anything more, and when she turned around and was about to leave, she was stopped by the girl.

"Excuse me, your name is ......"

"Kaede, my name is Kaede!" Ye Feng told her without thinking, and at the same time, his legs were already running.

"Kaede ......," the girl whispered as she looked at his back.

"I'll go first! Thank you today, and if we can meet in the future, I will definitely repay you well......"

The voice became smaller and smaller, until the figure in the sight completely disappeared, the girl came back to her senses, before leaving, she glanced in the direction of departure with some reluctance, and carved his shadow deeply in her eyes, heart, and soul......

The night was low, and the deep blue sky was slowly spread overhead. The bright stars and the yellowish moon shine brightest. The whole land was shrouded in a soft light as warm as jade. Only such a beautiful night deserves such a beautiful festival.

The breeze blows, and the temperature is kept cool by the alternation of dusk tonight, and the moderate air flow can be felt, which can be said to be the most suitable weather for the festival, and because of this, the lively neighborhood is already crowded, and young people in yukata and families are constantly passing by.

Finally arrived in front of the green sandalwood door, Ye Feng gasped slightly, looking for the person in his heart in the crowd of people coming and going.

Around the circle, soon, I saw a young girl standing in the bustling crowd, frowning slightly, frequently looking sideways for something, her eyes revealed a trace of anxiety, her shoulder-length long black hair also swayed, and she was wearing a pure white and light peach yukata to wrap her delicate figure, and the belt around her waist was light blue with dark red tones, even so, the simple dress could not hide her holy and fairy aura, enough to make any man who approached her surrender.

"Sakura!" Ye Feng's eyebrows curled, his eyebrows were raised, and he quickly approached and said hello.

Dongfang Yeying also spotted Ye Feng at the same time, and when her eyes met, the worried and anxious expressions on her face disappeared instantly, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Kaede, where did you just go, why are you wet?"

"Uh, that...... I wanted to pick hydrangeas for you on the way, but I accidentally fell into the river......" Ye Feng scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Hmm...... And then, I smell the girl's scent on you, did she save you? ”

"Wow, Sakura, you're so good, you know it before I even said it! Do you know how to read minds? Ye Feng said with a look of adoration.

"Hmph, it's a woman's intuition, looking at how you talk, she must be a very cute girl......" Dongfang Yazakura pouted and stuck out her tongue playfully.

Recalling the girl's face, Ye Feng couldn't help but nod subconsciously, reacted immediately at random, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, how can there be, I think Sakura is more cute!" ”

"Hmm!" Oriental Night Sakura blushed and pretended not to care.

"Hmph, Flim Flam ......"

"Hah...... Hello! The soaked clothes absorbed the temperature of his body, making Ye Feng couldn't help but sneeze.

"Fool, I don't know how to change my clothes when I'm soaking wet...... Dongfang Yeying hurriedly put the back of her hand on Ye Feng's head and gently covered it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's good that I don't have a fever, come on, let's put this on quickly......"

Dongfang Night Sakura took out a brand new gray-blue yukata from behind her and handed it to Ye Feng.

"It's ...... Did Sakura give it to me?! Ye Feng's eyes were full of surprise.

"Well, I originally wanted to give it to you after the festival, but now it just comes in handy, so let's get rid of my soaked clothes to prevent catching a cold!"

"Good! Thank you Sakura! ”

……

After a while, Ye Feng walked out of the shadows, and I have to say that the clothes selected by Dongfang Yeying are somewhat impeccable, very delicate and elegant, revealing the respect of the ancient people for the powerful. A black brocade kimono with golden threads blooming on a dark background. The hem is embroidered with gold thread with a dragon flying with its head held high, with a red rim and silver teeth. The dark red belt was tightly wound around the waist, and the excess was carefully folded under the belt. The whole person looks like he is majestic and heroic.

"Well, yes, it looks like it fits." Oriental Night Sakura smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey, hey! Of course, Sakura picked it up, haha, a refreshing feeling~" Ye Feng stretched his waist and took the initiative to hold Dongfang Yeying's palm.

"Let's go! Sakura, let's enjoy the festival to the fullest! ”

"Hmm......" Dongfang Yeying was a little shy, and was gently pulled by Ye Feng, with a full sense of happiness in her heart, slightly relieved, and finally hugged his arm tightly.

After the two of them passed through the torii gate and climbed the stone steps that led to the mountainside part of the hill, the grounds of the shrine, which was almost the size of a football field, were already bustling with many vendors. Targeting, goldfish, marshmallows, teppanyaki noodles and takoyaki ...... Either one is a must-have stall at the night market, and there is nothing special to see at the moment, however, there are some signs everywhere that stimulate the child's heart because they are traditional.

There are quite a few people gathered along the narrow thoroughfare with vendors on the left and right, and if you are not careful, it seems that you will be scattered immediately.

"Sakura, hold on to me, I'll be very upset if I accidentally get separated."

"Hmm...... Kaede, what would you do if the two of us really got separated? The girl beside her suddenly stopped and asked softly.

"Uh......" Ye Feng was stunned, and then smiled: "Do you still need to ask?" I'm going to look for you! ”

"What if...... We're scattered far away, like the ends of the earth......"

"Fool, I won't let that happen, even if there really is such a day, I will go to you until I find you!" Ye Feng's words made Dongfang Yeying's body tremble slightly, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a bright and moving smile from the heart.

"Thank you......"

"What's the matter, Sakura, why are you feeling sad all of a sudden?"

Dongfang Yezakura smiled and shook her head gently: "I'm just...... I'm reluctant to ...... you now."

"Now? Sakura, what the hell are you talking about? Ye Feng was puzzled.

"Hehe, no, I'm just asking, let's go, there will be wonderful fireworks around here tonight, let's go and see it together~"

"But ......"

"Boom!"

Before Ye Feng's words fell, a sudden sound suddenly sounded in the sky above his head, breaking the silence that he had not been able to breathe for a long time. A cloud of colored light rose rapidly, leaving a trail of gray smoke in its wake. Syllable! Fireworks blooming in the air. Split into countless tiny points of light, lighting up the night sky and freezing in the heart of the wind. In a short moment, the flowers went out and withered. Peace returned. But the beauty of that moment became eternal.

Everyone's eyes were attracted to the past, although the fireworks in the sky seemed to be a little bold, but the degree of joy would not change, the two were close together, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat, the unhappiness and haze in their hearts were swept away, and time seemed to freeze in this moment, forever imprinted on the ...... The heart of the night cherry blossoms of the East.

The mountains and shrines under the moon are filled with fireworks on both sides of the strait, and the breeze blows through the cherry blossom trees, surging a layer of ripples, and the cherry blossoms look back at the maple, and the corners of their mouths are smiling at the same time The fluttering and scattered cherry blossoms fall on the tips of the shoulders, as if constituting a symbolic world of fireworks that is not close to the world.

Oriental Night Sakura hummed softly:

Like this river flows

Hear the tranquil sound

The wind that flowed through the cheeks swept through the cheeks

Leak out those nostalgic memories

Distant skies

It's like tearing the heart

Awaken forgotten memories

Tears welled up in my eyes

The season of snow-white cherry blossoms

Exists only in distant dreams

The whisper of scattered petals

Words that cannot be forgotten

Sleepless nights alone

Walk in the mild wind

Naughtyly noisy

Coming back to his senses has become a memory

Clouds cover the moon

Sultry day by day

The memories that want to be erased are also illusory

Unstoppable tears

The time of the carving is so cruel

Bondage people for recreation

Ultramarine cherry blossom leaves

Not a word

The season of snow-white cherry blossoms

Exists only in distant dreams

The whisper of scattered petals

Words that cannot be forgotten......

In an instant, everything in front of the Oriental Night Sakura vanished, and the once bustling streets returned to calm, leaving some stalls from the summer festival to stand empty. Holding a simple lace in his hand surrounded by a silver-plated mirror, it is really simple.

But when I gazed at it, its mirror didn't reflect my face, but a different picture emerged.

"Hehe......"

Dongfang Yezakura smiled self-deprecatingly, what appeared in the mirror was just a reflection of herself, it turned out that everything was just a dream, and time could never go back.

The girl walked alone in the sultry summer night, thinking back to the spring day when the cherry blossoms were dancing: she and he walked hand in hand on the night cherry blossom street, looking up, their smiles were illuminated by the brilliant blooming fireworks, and now the girl was alone, tears came out of her eyes, tearing her heart, "The cherry blossoms full of trees have withered, like you will never be by my side"......

Please cherish the people you love around you, because once the red thread of fate is broken, you can no longer connect with ......
